Yeah, I am in for one. I need one also. Always find mine open at cruise nights & car shows. Don't know if people walk by & just think it is cool to pop it open or what??? I know it is not from driving around because whenever I stop to get gas or pack in the garage or something it is always still closed.

thats not a very good feeling

I got one of those locking units on mine it came with the car and the fellow had to cut the spring out to make it fit but at least I know no one is taking gas or sticking stuff in there .

Well, before I heard about Rick , I had ordered one of the plastic cheap caps on EBay.

It came today. It snaps down in place and clicks locked.. BUT.. The factory flip top on my '69 WILL NOT close with this in place, as others had mentioned... So save your $$.. I'm sure if I started taking things apart it would work, but why?

Gonna have to buy another replacement for mine, right now i can't get mine out of the filler neck, somehow i've misplaced the key, which oddly never made much difference in the ensuing decades, pretty much any key would open it, but after the paint job it seems to have gotten paint around the edges and is stuck in place.  don't want to drill out the lock as that would put loose metal in the gas tank.  Mine came that way from the factory, as it was on the build sheet.  guess i'll go out and try to figure out how to loosen it up some more, then buy a repro like the original.

a little gas around the edges will soften the paint i would think then pull it right out

I think if it were needed they would have stuck with it.

Hey on my '70 the cap will not close when the lock is in place, are you supposed to remove the "guts" from the flip top when using the lock?? (it is a CA emissions car)

No.  The spring/seal remain in place

Does your 70 have the assembly line installed style or the dealer installed over the parts counter accessory style?

You talking about the door or the locking cap??

I think the CA emission might have somthing to do with it, although the only diffrence I've noticed is the extra hoses and a condensor tube on the PAX side...but cap/door is original. The lock doesn't fit well and the seal spring in the cap makes locking it almost impossible. If I smash the cap down it will lock but Since I could tell it wasn't supposed to work that way I've only used it once (it's an NOS part) and just put it back in it's box and never used it again. Would like to it if I could make it would without fear of damage

I never thought about the California emission thing.  Is the inside of the fuel filler door different then on the CA Chargers in 70?

That one at the top of this thread looks like its a generic plastic thing and obviously by their application chart fits a few makes and models.  The Laysons one is very much the one to get but I wonder if that generic one was modeled after an oem one?  Maybe one of those AMC or Buick models, did they even offer such a thing?
